Each nation has its own peculiar method of work. Some work through politics, some through social reforms, some through other lines. With us, religion is the only ground along which we can move.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience there is no other way to know.
Swami Vivekananda
The seeker's silence is the loudest form of prayer.
Swami Vivekananda
You nourish your minds by reading books. There is no good in doing that unless you hold it also as a sacrifice to the whole world. For the whole world is one you are rated a very insignificant part of it, and therefore it is right for you that you should serve your millions of brothers rather than aggrandise this little self
Swami Vivekananda
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda
My son, hold fast! Do not care for anybody to help you. Is not the Lord infinitely greater than all human help? Be holy--trust in the Lord, depend on him always, and you are on the right track. Nothing can prevail against you.
Swami Vivekananda
What good is this body? Let it go in helping others. Did not the Master preach until the very end? And shall I not do the same? I do not care a straw if the body goes. You cannot imagine how happy I am when I find earnest seekers after truth to talk to. In the work of waking up Atman in my fellow men I shall gladly die again and again!
Swami Vivekananda
Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart.
Swami Vivekananda
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
Swami Vivekananda
This faith in themselves was in the hearts of our ancestors, this faith in themselves was the motive power that pushed them forward and forward in the march of civilisation, and if there has been degeneration, if there has been defect, mark my words, you will find that degeneration to have started on the day our people lost faith in themselves.
Swami Vivekananda
We must be bright and cheerful. Long faces do not make religion. Religion should be the most joyful thing in the world, because it is the best.
Swami Vivekananda
The law of Karma is the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.
Swami Vivekananda
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
Swami Vivekananda
It is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for love's sake and the prayer goes: O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward 'love' unselfishly for love's sake.
Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
A brave, frank, clean-hearted, courageous and aspiring youth is the only foundation on which the future nation can be built.
Swami Vivekananda
